I guess so! 
I really didn't think I was being that rough on  it at all.
Little first gear burnout to get some heat in the tires.  There wasn't much traction to be had so I didn't launch at a high RPM in first.  The real kick in the pants was I couldn't get under 15 seconds in the quarter.  15.39 @ 92.87 mph
I bet my pick up truck is quicker.

It's probably not as much fun, though.  :smile:

You are correct and I am already missing the opportunities to drive it before they begin salting the roads.

I have another T5 on the floor I am going to drop off with a transmission mechanic to go through before putting it in place of the grindy one.
